Vertigo announces the renewal for two seasons of its star rider Jaime Busto, who will continue to defend the brand’s interests in the TrialGP and X-Trial World Championships, as well as the Spanish Championship, until at least the 2023 season.
This commitment is a clear demonstration of the Vertigo’s confidence in the young talent from Biscay, whom he considers the cornerstone of his sporting project and sees as the rider called upon to lead the new generation of contenders who will fight for the World Championship in the coming years, as evidenced by the five consecutive podiums achieved in 2021 and the Excellent 3rd position in the TrialGP World Championship.
Since joining the team midway through the 2019 season, Jaime Busto has consolidated Vertigo on the international stage with the brand’s best ever results in outdoor competition, accumulating a total of 10 podiums and always finishing in the top four of the Championship. In National territory, Busto accumulates 4 victories and a runner-up, and currently leads the 2021 classification with only 2 races to go. With the new 2022 Nitro at his disposal, Vertigo hopes that Busto can continue to add to this list of successes for the remainder of the season and can strive for even more ambitious goals next season.
The CEO of Vertigo, Manel Jané, stated: “At Vertigo we are happy to make official the renewal of Jaime Busto for a duration of two years. Jaime is one of the best riders in the world, and with him we consolidate a sporting project that is giving us, and we hope will give us, many more joys in the coming seasons.”

NEW CHASSIS
New 2022 Vertigo Nitro Chassis
- Superior Dynamic Fitness
- Increased rear suspension travel
- Increased sensitivity and speed
REDISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
The Vertigo Nitro places each and every one of its electrical components in an optimal location, with two clear objectives; Achieve the necessary cooling and improve accessibility. Now all components are protected but within the pilot’s reach.
The new design of the entire electrical installation of the Vertigo Nitro allows each of its parts to be disassembled individually, making maintenance tasks a simple and efficient process.
Redistribution of electrical components
- Lower the temperature to which the system is subjected
- Better accessibility
- Plug & play maintenance systems
New exhaust silencer
One of the main new features of the Nitro compared to previous models is the silencer.
The change is evident to the naked eye, with a lateral design that in addition to improving the performance and thermodynamics of the set, also generates a 5cm gain in suspension travel by eliminating the physical stop that existed with the previous version.
The detachable toe cap that incorporates the silencer allows the easy removal of the fibers for replacement.
Revamped Exhaust
- Allows for more suspension travel
- Less heat transfer to the electrical system
- Interchangeable exhaust fiber
- Reduced engine braking effect
New Fuel Tank
The new fuel tank makes it possible to use 100% of its capacity. Filling will be safer with the Nitro, thanks to the design of a new bucket that prevents gasoline from spilling into the engine’s electrical components.
On the new Nitro, the tank has been moved to the front to improve dynamic behavior thanks to the new mass distribution.
New Water Pump System
The Nitro features an all-new water pump, smaller but capable of working with a higher flow rate.
Also new is its positioning, rethinking the entire circuit , making it self-purging by placing it at the lowest point of it.
As a result, the Nitro’s engine enjoys greater and more effective cooling.
New Water Pump
- Self-purging system
- Increased system performance
- Smaller size
- Improved mechanical accessibility
NEW REAR BRAKE SYSTEM
The new Nitro incorporates a new rear hose, whose travel allows quick access to the clutch of the new Vertigo, makes it easier to replace the entire system if necessary and its hose improves braking transmission.
NEW SKID PLATE
The Nitro features a new crankcase plate in very hard 7075 Aluminum. It is designed to protect all the components of the new Vertigo while having total symmetry, giving it a more harmonious image. The fastening system facilitates the assembly tasks of the same.
